Recent/Summer Beauty Favourites

Morning everyone,

As my last post was about products that have disappointed me recently, I decided today I would share with you some of my favourites!

Recently, I have noticed myself tossing certain products to the back of my makeup collection, leaving them forgotten about and therefore unused. However, after a huge organise of my make up drawer, I am now finally able see everything again and more importantly rediscover my old favourites.

Now that everything is organised and my OCD has had it's long over due input, I am using a larger variety of what I own... so today I thought I would share with you a few of my absolute favourites from this summer, whether they are new finds or old gems that I have rediscovered over the past few months!

St Moritz Instant Self Tanning Mousse in Medium
This is honestly the best tan I have ever used, Im not sure if its because I have been fake tanning for a while now so have got the knack of a streak free ran or if it is purely because this product is so brilliant!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion
Although this product doesn't effect/improve my skin dramatically, I have noticed after using it, my skin feels a lot brighter and it leaves me feeling so fresh!

Barry M Nail Varnishes:

Shocking Pink
&
Gelly Prickly Pear
I have been wearing these two colours ALL through August. I just think they are such summery colours and completely compliment a tan!

Lush Eau Roma Toner Water 
This toning water is part of my daily routine, not only does it help to keep my skin clear but it just feels so refreshing and really wakes me up in the morning. Lush do a variety of different toning waters for different skin types, this one contains Lavender and Rose Water and smells 'Lush'.

Rimmel Colour Rush Intense Colour Balm in 'The Redder the Better'
When I first got this lip balm/crayon, I really slated it as I didn't feel it moisturised my lips well. However, after giving it another chance, I actually really love this lip product and will definitely be investing in some more!

Soap and Glory 'Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick' in Bashful
This is one of my newest purchases and it's already a favourite! I will be making a trip to Boots to purchase the shade 'Nudist' now I know how good these sticks are.

Nivea Sun Protect 
&
Nivea Milk and Honey
Whilst away on holiday, I always end up burning my lips, leaving them cracked and sore but this year, I decided to take extra good care of them whilst in the sun and Nivea, once again, delivered!

I really struggle with my lips and finding a product that actually helps them, whether it be drugstore, high end or even prescribed by the doctor, has been so hard! For a long time now, I have been a huge fan of the Milk and Honey balm, although it took some stronger medication to help my lips initially, now they are back to a normal state, this stuff is so good for maintaing them!



MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study
 I really need to stop mentioning MAC's Paint Pot, but how could I not include it in a favourites when it quite clearly is a favourite of mine! The formula of this is so creamy and easy to apply to the lids and as a bit of an eye make up noob this makes life a whole lot easier!



Real Techniques Stippling Brush
And another product, from another brand I can't say enough good things about! The Stippling Brush by Real Techniques is perfect for a light, yet flawless look to your foundation!

Boots Exfoliating Gloves
I almost feel silly including these in a post so all I am going to say about this product is, how have I never used a pair of these before this summer! 
A-MA-ZING and so simple!

Well, there you have it, my favourites from the past few months! 
Although summer is coming to an end, I know I will be continuing to use all of these products.

What products have you been loving this summer?
